The new recall impacts only 7,810 sport utility vehicles (SUVs) in the United States. Of those, FCA said more than half are still at its dealers and will be fixed before they are sold.
“Affected are certain 2015 Jeep Renegade SUVs equipped with 6.5-inch touchscreens,” FCA noted in its recall notice.
The July recall included Dodge Viper, Ram Pickup, Chrysler 200, Chrysler 300, Dodge Durango, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Jeep Cherokee vehicles. As it did with that recall, FCA is sending those affected by the new recall a USB device to upgrade the vehicle software with additional security features.
